Stiving to get closer to Jesus every day and sharing what I learn.
Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! God has given us a new birth because of His great mercy. We have been born into a new life that has a confidence which is alive because Jesus Christ has come back to life.

God’s presence rests most with those who remain humble.
A person who doesn’t love Me doesn’t do what I say. I don’t make up what you hear Me say. What I say comes from the Father who sent Me.

God only wants the best for you so be open to his correction.
Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, lie, and say all kinds of evil things about you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad because you have a great reward in heaven! The prophets who lived before you were persecuted in these ways.
– Matthew 5:11-12 (GOD’S WORD® Translation (©1995))
If you are truly a child of God you WILL have people say bad things about you. They did it to Jesus too and He was sinless.
